October `01 Order Comments:

Industrial Automation orders reflect widespread declines in the North American and European industrial goods markets.

HVAC orders reflect weak U.S. and European demand for residential air conditioning and commercial and industrial refrigeration and air conditioning products.

Electronics and Telecom orders continue to reflect the broad weakness in the computing and telecom equipment markets.

Appliance and Tools orders reflect continued weakness in motor and appliance components demand, along with continued soft demand in the tools area.

Process orders reflect strength in the oil and gas and power industries. Geographically, Asia and Latin America continue to be strong.
